La Posta, Mendoza (Argentina) Malbec 2009

Jul 27, 2011

By Paul Lukacs

 A somewhat rustic Malbec, with fairly firm tannins and more black than red fruit flavors, this will be a fine barbecue wine, as it finishes on a zesty, spicy note.  Many Argentinean Malbecs are almost cotton-candy soft.  Not this one.  It seems delightfully old-fashioned.
